I fitted an ego, last year. As everyone says, movers are fab.

I go away on my own and it makes hitching up solo a breeze. Also, its assisted me on some really unfriendly pitches, where reversing on was impossible due to restricted access.

We had a Truma fitted when we bought the caravan three years ago.

Started to work intermittently after a while - turned out the control box was faulty (it took a while to convince Truma that they should replace it). Then, on holiday, a pin fell out, preventing it from engaging - a temporary fix with a screwdriver sorted it until I could get the pin replaced.

So, whilst when it works it's great, I'd be hard pressed to recommend Truma (despite their good reputation).

Looked at the Alco one at NEC and that looks pretty good - I guess this will become a standard fitment on many caravans soon.

  we are waiting to have a Royal Atlas fitted, as yet they do not appear to have been imported, we go away next Monday & although I do not have a prob with reversing - ( I work on a large farm ) I like the idea of being able to put the caravan in a position where access is restricted

We've got the Truma fitted on ours and we both love it!  Getting around to the back of our house is really hard with a 'van so the mover really does make our lives so much easier.  We've got the bolt lock thing on the wheel of the 'van and the mover makes getting the right position so easy.  We always use the mover to get it onto the pitch and even moved pitch once when i wasn't sure where the 'van was meant to go. 

Be warned you will have an audience when you use a motor mover lol.  We've even had people who were driving stop to watch us lol.

power touch fitted on our Abbey 460 ,grandson loves Granddads big remote controlled toy

Jenny has Arthritis in her Knees so moving the van by hand not an option Motermover a necessity for us.

 We have a little 12foot 2 berth caravan. at the moment we can still manage (jus) to move by hand. However, years are catching up and health not the best so really think a mover is the next step.  Sloping drive but wide  entrance so can reverse into position down the side of the property at the moment but at least with a mover  I would be able to cope with it myself.

The rhino sounds good to me - just to point out though, why have I never seen anyone on a site using the mover? They all seem to reverse their vans on - much to my impressivness of their accuracy!!
